I have a Linear B font that I'm thinking about re-encoding for Unicode when
the proposal is approved, and I have some questions about current Plane One
usability that will affect my decision.

1. Does any currently and commonly available word processing software
access Plane One, for either entry or display?

2. How can I encode glyphs into Plane One? Is Fontlab 3 sufficient (I'm
assuming in any case that I'll have to change something by hand).
